New York, 1958: John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 538 and 636 pages, respectively, $11.50 and $13.00

Volume 1, "Thermodynamics of Fluid Flow and Application to Propulsion Engines," reviews fundamentals, propulsion systems, flow through nozzles, flow through diffusers, etc. Problems and answers are given. Volume 2, "The Gas Turbine Power Plant, the Turboprop, Turbojet, Ramjet and Rocket Engines" considers gas turbine power plant cycles and analysis of ideal cycles, analysis of gas turbine power plants and the turboprop engine, the turbojet engine, the ramjet engine and rocket jet propulsion. It would be difficult to find a more complete and authoritative treatment of the subjects.
